ADJUST THE INSTALLED GAP
After checking for Free Play Gain, you may need to adjust the
installed gap. If Free Play Gain is optimal, continue to “BREAK IN
THE NEW CLUTCH.” If Free Play Gain is not optimal, the
installed gap needs to be adjusted.
The installed gap should be fine-tuned in small increments and
then recheck Free Play Gain. Refer to the table below to set the
proper installed gap based on your Free Play Gain.
